Two years ago I was in Scotland (aka, heaven) shooting a wedding. How did I get so lucky? Kendall was a really good friend of mine our sophomore year of high school where we learned that we had both lived in Slidell, Louisiana, & had both just moved to the same town. I was abosolutely devastated the day she told me she was moving to Scotland, but I made sure to forgive her for moving the day of her wedding.

I’m really excited to announce Kendall & Scott’s second anniversary (even if it is a day late) for two reasons. 1) They’re a fun couple, & 2) their photos are even more fun (no, I’m not bias).  To me, one of the funniest things about their courtship is that Kendall couldn’t stand Scott for the longest time after they met. When he made at trip to the States to visit her, Kendall cried the day his flight was delayed because she couldn’t wait for him to leave. A few months later, she had a what-the-heck-am-I-doing-I-like-Scott moment & they were married not long after they started officially dating.

1. What was the most memorable moment about your wedding?

Kendall: Hands down, my most memorable moment from our wedding was when I forgot my vows. The time came for us to say our vows & exchange rings. However, I suddenly had a panic moment where I could not figure out which hand was Scott’s left! Our minister was speaking the words that I was meant to be repeating but, of course, I wasn’t listening because I was focusing on figuring out which hand the ring went on & then suddenly it was my turn to speak. Thoughts rushed through my mind of how I could best save this situation. But, no, there was no way out. So instead I said, “I’m sorry, what?”
Scott: Scott says the same. Lame.

2. What was the inspiration for your wedding? themes? Why did you pick this time of year?

Our wedding was in the summer time in Scotland. We chose this time because it was the only time that all of our family members & friends could get together. Also, it was the only time of year that we could potentially have a “warm” Scottish wedding. The wedding was a Scottish garden themed wedding. I wanted to be sure to incorporate elements of a Scottish wedding like the bagpipes with elements of a country garden wedding like jams & lace to unite the two sides.

3. Was there anything not worth fussing over? In other words, did you have a bridezilla/groomzilla moment over something that was insignificant?

We were actually pretty easy to please! Not sure if my mom would say that.

4. Any advice for those planning now?

Kendall: Try not to let family get in the way. We all want to make family members happy with our wedding choices but at the end of the day, it’s YOUR day. Make sure the day reflects you both as a couple and not what your family expects. And secondly, we were given the advice to steal a few minutes away, the two of us, at some point during the day. We grabbed a drink and stood outside for a few minutes away from the busyness.
Scott: Don’t get married……joking!

Tell me about married life!

1. What has been the easiest/hardest parts about adjusting to married life?

Kendall: The easiest part was definitely not having to make the trek home every night after we had hung out for the evening. Got sick of those 1am drives & having to say goodbye. It was nice to already be home. The hardest part was learning how to keep the bathroom clean. We still have issues. Oh, & how to compromise.
Scott: The hardest part was learning how to share my food.

2. What’s been the most surprising thing you’ve learned about each other?

Kendall: I knew before we got married how hyper-active Scott is but until we got married I didn’t realize just how…weird…he was.
Scott: That she doesn’t tidy up after herself & keeps lids off of jars.

3. What do you guys do to spend time together? Do you have weekly dates? something nightly? monthly?

To spend time together we tend to watch movies. We love movies a little too much. But we also like shopping together. Just the other day we were joking about how we never go to the grocery store alone. It’s a given that we go together.

4. What did you do to celebrate your one year anniversary?

Well, for our one year anniversary we spent it apart. I spent it with my mom & Scott spent it in Scotland eating fish & chips waiting for his green card. We’re counting this anniversary as our official first one because we are actually together for it. So going out for a yummy dinner it is.

5. What are your plans for the future?

Scott would love to eventually work at Pixar after he earns a second degree in concept art. As for me, I’m going to continue taking photos while I enjoy the beautiful Napa Valley & then eventually have babies. We’ll probably end up moving to San Francisco. Who knows!

Below are some photos from their wedding & the day after their wedding. I am posting so many photos because my blog was not up two years ago. I also just like looking at them. :) To see more from their awesome wedding, visit their gallery.

And now, a current photo of them! Kendall is a fellow photographer. Be sure to check her out at Simply Green!
